[interview] MZ Effects: Michael Zerah

Like many builders, I built pedals for myself at first because I'm a rock guitarist... :)

I get my inspiration from the Sola Sound/Colorsound company and D*A*M effects, I always use the original vintage components from the 60's/70's, the same found in the original Tone Benders of those years.

Where do the name and logo come from?

The name is just my initials with "effects" :)

There's no real logo at the moment, sometimes I use a star in a circle.

Can you tell us something about the production process?

I'm alone to build and I spend a very long time to reach perfection, I mainly build Tone Bender style pedals and the most
difficult part is finding the original good transistors.
